La Salle County voters — your opinion on your Second Amendment rights is requested.
Do you oppose bills passed by Illinois lawmakers restricting your Second Amendment rights? That’s the gist of a referendum that’ll appear on the Nov. 6 ballot.
At today's county board meeting, a resolution to place an advisory (nonbinding) referendum on the November ballot came before the board and passed. Two people talked during public comment on the matter before the vote. |

Enumerated fundamental rights are not subject to referendum.
Their unalienable nature sets them above popular opinion. |

Um, PHORTO, this is another part of the 'sanctuary county' fad in Illinois:
If a majority of voters vote yes to the referendum, that they oppose Illinois lawmakers creating or passing legislation that infringe on Second Amendment rights, the county clerk is directed to prepare and deliver copies of the resolution to all members of the Illinois General Assembly and the Office of the Governor. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
